Takes One to Know One: The Makings of a Grade A Manufacturer

The Pure Manufacturing leadership team

Serial entrepreneurs Lorne Berry, Scott Bland, and Russ Losee struggled to find a manufacturing partner that could deliver the quality and consistency they expected on their timeline. So, they took matters into their own hands and launched Pure Manufacturing, a contract manufacturing company specializing in high-end powders and capsules.

“We were tired of dealing with other manufacturing companies, getting the runaround, not having a first-class experience, etc.,” says Bland, the company’s president. The decision to start their own manufacturing company let them “go to the front of the class, create our own products, and make sure they’re all manufactured the right way,” he adds.
